One of the feature which existed in JDeveloper 10g but not found in JDeveloper 11g is using checkbox for selecting multiple rows from af:table.
This is my workaround for achieving this feature in JDeveloper 11g. Follow this steps:

1- Make a new ADF fusion web Application.
2- choose your database connection. (assume we are using HR Schema)
3- Make one viewObject based on entity (assume Employees viewObject based on Employees Entity)4- Open your Employees ViewObject and make a new transient attribute with type boolean and make it always updatable (assume the transient Attribute name is 'TransientAttr').

5- Make a new page and drag your employee view as a table and don't check on Row Selection checkbox.6- In your Structure Palette goto your inputText Transient attribute and right click and choose Convert to.

8- Make the selectBooleanCheckbox component AutoSubmit with true and put its Id in the table partialTrigger and clear its lable and text.

9-

Select all columns and goto Style Property and inlineStyle write

this #{(row.TransientAttr)?"background-color: #ffaaaa":""};
where #ffaaaaa is the color of the selected row (you can change this color as you want).10-Now any row has its transient Attribute with true value, this row will be selected row.
